IMPROVEMENT IN GRAIN-TALLIES.

Specitication forming part of Letters Patent No. 178,823, dated June 13, 1876; application filed February 14, 1874. I

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER WINsOR, of St. Peter, in the county of Nicollet and State ot' Minnesota, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in GrainRegisters; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters land figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a plan view of my grain-register. Fig. 2 is a sectional view'of the same.

This invention relates to improvements on devices for registering grain as itis taken from a thrashing-machine or a bin in halfbushel measures, as will be hereinafter explained.

The following is a description of my improvements In the annexed drawings, A designates a horizontally-revolviug carrier for the halt'- bushel measurers, and B is a vertical spindle, on the upper end ot' which the carrier A is rigidly secured. This spindle has a wormthread, c, formed on it, which engages with a registering-wheel, G, turning on a stud which is secured to an arched standard, J. The lower end ot' spindle B is stepped upon a bearing, i, over one of the feet of the standard J, and the upper end of this spindle passes through the top of a box or housing, C, and is steadied thereby. Y

The spindle is prevented from turning backward by means of a spring-pawl, b, and stops c c, indicated in dotted lines, Fig. l. Wheel Gr has secured centrally to it a pinion, g, the teeth of which engage .with teeth on the periphery ofaregistering-whecl, G', which turns on a stud that* is fixed to the arched standard J. In this way any number of registeringthe worm a in order to quickly adjust the y registering-wheels back to their original position. After the adjustment the standard can be rigidly fixed by means of a thumbscrew, h.

The registering mechanism above described is inclosed in the box G to keep it free from dust and to prevent it from being tampered with. The box C is constructed with a movable cover, having a glass face applied to it. The box C is applied inside of a receptacle, R, ot' suiiicient size to catch the scattered grain. The figures on the faces of the wheels G G will be soarranged that Wheel G willregister one hundred at every complete revolution of wheel G.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The adjustable standard J, carrying the registering-wheelsG G', and pointers e, in combination with the worm a on the spindle of carrier A, as described.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

PETER WIN SOR.
